Executive Summary.
Banyabindi Community Development Foundation (bcdf) is a community Based Organization formed in 2007, based at St Mark Church of Uganda in Kinyamaseke Town Board, Kasese District in the Rwenzori mountain region about 7km to the Mpondwe Customs Ugandan border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to implement activities and programmes which were affecting the ever increasing number of orphans and vulnerable persons due to Civil wars, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, STIs and other Communicable diseases rampant in our localities. Death of parents and guardians as a result of the fore mentioned has been coupled with natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, weather conditions and other natural calamities which have not only left parents dead, but also living helpless infant/ Children. bcdf is currently implementing child protection, care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS prevention among children and young people, HIV/AIDS mainstreaming at work place and sustainable livelihood in Munkunyu and Nyakiyumbu Sub County.
However, sustainable livelihood, home based care, support groups’ activities are not currently running since we have not yet been able to identify and partner with main funders for those interventions. It’s against this background that bcdf is looking forward to the basket fund to take up the above activities, with much emphasis put on the OVC’s Education support.
Even for the would be way of survival in terms of agriculture produce, bcdf is intending to working with partner CBOs and funders to implement programs like providing food and clothing, supporting the education of Orphans and Vulnerable
